Adobe PDF presets / exports not working in InDesign CC 2021 (v16.0)
This seems to be same or similar problem previously reported for CC2020 (v15.0) but reported as fixed in v15.1.3. -- Related bug report is here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/39026392-pdf-export-in-indesign-cc-2020-15-0-is-broken#{toggle_previous_statuses}
Adobe PDF Presets initially worked in CC 2021 when first updated. (I don't know what version that was.) And they worked as recently as last week for me. Today however, none of the presets work, whether the original ones or custom presets I created. I went back to v15.1.3 and all the same presets work correctly.

Controller skin for embedded video
I've been using InDesign to create PDF publications with embedded videos. When I created them in earlier versions of InDesign there was an option in the Interactive/Media window to choose a controller skin. I'm up to date with InDesign/CC and this has disappeared. The videos still exist in the exported PDF, but there is no obvious way for the end user to play/pause/rewind the video. This is an essential feature for the work I do. What now?
1 voteThe Controller Skins were based on Flash. Now that Flash is EOL, those skins are no longer supported and hence have been removed from the Media panel.

Background Task Seems Stuck
When I create a PDF using InDesign presets, the background task indicator keeps spinning and spinning. When I click on the indicator, I get a dialog box that tells me the name of the file that I exported with the status "Complete. See Alert." However, the alert area is empty. The only way to get it to stop, is to quit InDesign and restart.

Indd-generated QR code disappears in Print-PDF
When exporting a print pdf, a qr code that has been generated within inDesign does not appear in the pdf. There is not even an empty box. It seems the pdf export is somehow inaccurate when it comes to qr codes that have been generated in Indd.

Bug: Ligatures cause inconsistent font weight in exported PDFs
PDFs exported from InDesign and viewed in Chrome display inconsistent font weights, and the issue appears to be linked in some way to ligatures.
In my own testing, I have found the following, but I am not entirely confident that this is a complete picture of the problem:
- Ligatures turned on everywhere = lighter text
- Ligatures turned off everywhere = bolder text
- Ligatures turned on in some places = inconsistent font weight line by line. Not certain if there is a regular pattern to these inconsistencies.
Issue seems to present only when exported PDFs are viewed in Chrome, but I…

export to PDF failed in ID v16 with macOS BigSur
I'm having problems exporting to PDF since the macOS Big Sur update 11.0.1 (the official one). I also updated to InDesign 2021 (v16.0) and the computer is almost new. It keeps crashing or freezes with the beachball every time I try to export. I have already tried the obvious, changing the preferences at the export panel and deleting the software preferences (with cmd+ctrl+alt+shift). I'm looking for a way to solve this. Please help!

Variable font: Italic character wrongly displayed when exported to PDF format from InDesign.
I'm reporting this bug on behalf of the type design studio Dalton Maag. To reproduce: use the provided test font, write the lowercase letter "p" in Indesign, and choose the "Hair Italic" instance, or equivalently, set:
- the font's weight axis to the minimum,
- the width to its default value
- the italic axis to its maximum.Glyphs are shown without fault within InDesign itself. However, when exported to PDF format and opened on Acrobat Reader, there is an issue with how the letter “p” is displayed (see aktiv_vf_p_bug.png).
We are suspecting the issue is caused by a point…
